Amazon's own balance sheet presents the most compelling evidence that we are stuck in the Enshittocene, the era in which everything is turning into a pile of shit, because the worst ideas of the worst people now make the most money. 1/

Hieronymus Bosch's 'The Conjuror,' a painting depicting a medieval con artist playing a shell game for an audience of astonished peasant rubes. The image has been altered: the conman now has Jeff Bezos's grinning head, and the mouths of all the peasants have been replaced with inverted Amazon 'Smile' logos, so they are now frowning.

Kitbash acquiring Artstation off of Epic. Is that good or bad? Epic didn't seem to know what to do with Artstation, except shill Unreal Engine and derail the regular Artstation challenges. So, maybe good? magazine.artstation.com/2026/08/kitb...

"To suggest Embracer's impact on the game industry over the past few years has been anything close to positive would be to betray the very idea of reality itself. It would be like describing the maiden voyage of the Titanic as a moderate success because, well, some people made it to New York."

I've been working on a procedural animation setup with geometry nodes. Just the target is animated, geometry node then drives an IK rig to follow it via the Geometry Attribute bone constraint. Still got a lot to figure out but cool to have it working! 🤖🦿

Random digital painting of a girl walking her two big and dark dogs on a rocky and sandy beach. She is watching at the sea where a castle appears behind a foggy horizon.

Random soft colors, kinda impressionist, digital painting. In the foreground, in a high grass field, a mother plays with her child's ruban. In the background the sun is setting giving the sky its classic pink/orange colors.

Digital painting of a castle up a rocky hill. In the foreground, a shepherdess is watching after her tiny flock.

Rough digital painting of some snowy hills. A person is standing in the foreground alongside their undefined animal companion. A small cabin is emerging from a pinewood.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

UK based illustrators, please fill out this survey from AOI by January 31st. The UK government is proposing a new AI policy that would let AI companies freely use copyright protected work without permission — unless you explicitly opt-out. www.surveymonkey.com/r/ai_consult...

Graphic reading: “Attention illustrators! We need your help filling and sharing out most crucial AI survey yet”

Graphic reading: “The UK government wants to let AI companies use your creative works to train their models.

No license, no fee. Only a vague promise that you can opt-out. With no indication of how this option would work.

Think this sounds fair? Neither do we.”

Graphic that reads: “We are currently responding to the government’s current AI consultation, where data is king.

We need to provide solid numbers in order to present a compelling argument to achieve change.

Real data = better policy.

This is where you come in.”

Graphic that reads: “Your voice counts.

Take 5-10 minutes ti complete our AI consultation survey today (link in bio)

Share this post with your peers to help spread the word!

The survey is for all illustrators”

The AI movies are embedded in the article for you to watch and they are all without exception terrible, by any measure. As inhuman as they are, I cannot stop thinking about the people so devoid of humanity that they think they've made something watchable.

Affinity Photo is the software I have used to create just about every single piece of art I've made since 2018. It would suck real fucking bad for them to integrate AI and force me to find something new to use. Hoping and praying they actually listen to their consumers and keep the software AI-free.
